machine-centred systems simplify what computers do at the expense of participants
human-centred systems as those that make participants’ work as effective and satisfying as possible
how the relationships between participants change as a result of the new system
ensuring the new system provides participants with a safe work environment
awareness of the impact the system may have on the participants, including: – opportunities to use their skills
– meaningful work
– need for change
– opportunities for involvement and commitment
implement systems that pay as much attention to the needs of participants as they do to information technology

This is where we look at the humanisation of information systems. Information systems are here to make our lives easier, people are supposed to be in control of the system rather than the system being in control of them. Information systems need to be human-centred rather than machine-centred.
The aim for human-centred methodologies is to create systems that areunobtrusiveand that respondintuitively to the users needs. These systems need less training, less effort to use and they deliver the information that people want. Human-centred systems improveeffectivenessand allow people to work the way that they want.
Machine-centred systems do the opposite to human-centred systems. These systems simplify computer processes at the expense of people. Machine-centred systems control how the users work and this is anti-productive and isn't healthy in a working environment. Users need to learn how the system works rather than the system operating the way the users works.
